Question

During reverse bias, the n side of the p-n junction alone is affected by the applied potential True False

Answer 1

Answer:

The given statement is false. This is because in case of n type semiconductor electrons are the majority charge carriers and holes are minority charge carriers.

In reverse bias junction, the positive terminal of the battery gets attached to n semiconductor and negative terminal gets connected to the p semiconductor. The electrons attracted towards the positive terminal and vice versa.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The given statement is false, during the reverse bias, both the n-side and p-side of the p-n junction is affected by the applied potential.

Explanation:

• While the reverse bias, the negative voltage which is applied at the junction of P side with the respective of N side.
• Due to the drop on the applied potential, the depletion layer will increases. But both electrons and holes are move away from the junction.
• The minimal charged carrier will leave behind the P-N junction that will leads to less charge.
• From this we know that, both the P and N side have majority charged carriers which gets pulled over the reverse bias.
